sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 16, 2008 12oz bottle purchased for $2.49 from Metro Joanette in Montreal. Pours an unexpected rich dark copper. Little head. Disappointingly weak aroma. Flavour is not disappointing however. It’s strong and rich with a good deal of warming hops. This is not a West Coast IPA in terms of its hop profile - which is somewhat too bad as I feel most of those are tastier.
Pyrozoid (257), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 3, 2009 Bouteille de 341 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler. Une biere de couleur rouille avec un moyen collet tres collant. Odeur de sucre, épices, caramel, sirop de mais et un peu fleural. Gout tres sec, caramel, sirop de mais qui revient, et blé. martin21 (156), Quebec city, Quebec, Canada Dec 26, 2008 IPA sirupeuse, fruiter et un peu carameliser. Le houblon balance bien.
Syrupy, fruity and a bit caramelized IPA. Hops are weel balanced. willblake (2050), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Dec 7, 2008 20080728 12oz bottle shared with dickinsonbeer. Wow. Horrible aroma and flavor of cooked canned green beans. Offputting flavors of old peat and mud. Amazing that Paul and I agreed for once on a terrible beer. Too bad, I seem to usually like the Bieropholie stuff. elihapa (464), Hawaii, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from Terroirs. Pours a golden brown, with a caramel-hoppy aroma. Flavor had bold notes of sweet, darker fruit, with a delicious hoppiness throughout. All flavors were rounded with some sweetness, with the more traditional bitter hop notes only showing through at the very end. A very well-made brew, beautiful balance and juicy fruit character. Ughsmash (3148), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Oct 18, 2008 Bottled. Poured perfecly clear amber with a dusting of white head and some spotty lacing. The aroma picked up juicy medium-skinned fruit and perfumey hoppage over a candy-like caramel backing. The flavor had caramel and fruity sweetness at the core (not as sweet as the nose) with sticky citrus, perfume, and spicier floral bitterness around.. moderate level of bitterness.. finished a little warm and spicy with sticky fruit sweetness hanging around. Medium-bodied on the palate with low carbonation.. long impression on the finish, but it was just OK.
